Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Highly recommend it was a unique experience 👌Written 31 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Class family time kids loved it and we are thinking to be back next weekend again!Written 26 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karen MDistrict of Columbia245 contributionsThe interior of this church is very beautiful. It is worth visiting to see the columns, if nothing else. They are made of a gorgeuos green stone called Connemara marble, from an area northeast of Athlone. It's a real showcase for this unique geological material.Written 5 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Philip IDubai, United Arab Emirates13 contributionsGreat spot right on the Shannon. Wide selection of food (with plenty of veggie options) and drinks. Great American IPA in particular!

- Nicola DDublin, Ireland84 contributionsMy husband and I stopped at the Heritage Centre on our way to find the nearby Dolmen. The cente is only one room but contains lots of information about the local community, the heritage sites, the impacts of the famine and even some information about the Titanic given there were survivors that travelled from Athlone. Anton, one of the staff was very friendly and helpful, taking us around the room and reciting some interesting stories and answering our questions. St. Brigids Well sits just behind the old church so make sure not to miss out. It is a quaint little centre with lots of history to tell so not to be missed.Written 15 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Subhasree RDublin, Ireland7 contributionsA lovely walk that has a combination of river, canal and meadow walks.
An easy walking path that is 99% flat.
some of the areas of the walk were closed and no proper signage was put in place to know it. So bear in mind you might end up walking back in the same path rather than finishing the loop.Written 13 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

When we arrived there was quite a long queue but it moved pretty quickly. Ordered breakfast and were seated at a lovely table in the sun by a smiling happy staff member. Our food arrived piping hot and beautifully presented. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our visit and will definately return. Wonderful display of freshly made desserts & cakes which we will try next time. Staff are pleasant and extremely helpful which is always nice to see. Well done Fernhill & Savory Fare👏🏻👏🏻🤗Written 21 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
